Is this enough to run a symmetric 1Gb download/upload connection?

Hello

Im trying to replace my ISP's router with a pfSense. This uses a PPPoE connection if that makes any difference.

I want to know if it can handle my symmetric 1Gb download/upload fiber connection. My current virtualized solution seems it cannot handle it.

At max, there are 3 users. Obviously multiple devices.

The only additional feature I use is OpenVPN but that is only used by me (one user)

Im looking at two hardware configuration which both probably look familiar:

Product one, hardware:
Intel Celeron J6412 Quad Core at 2 GHz (Burst up to 2.6 GHz)
32GB RAM
Quad Intel 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet NIC ports
pfSense installed on a m.2 SATA SSD

Product two, virtualized:
Two Intel Xeon E5-2630L V3 at 1.80GHz (Burst up to 2.90GHz)
RAM up to 128GB
Dell X550-T4 Quad Port 10GbE and Intel I340-T4 Quad Port 1Gbps
pfSense installed on a RAID1 SATA SSD

So can it handle it?

Ideally, product two is better so I dont have to get two things and product two can actually handle it.

J6412

I would assume it would work as the older N5000 series CPUs can push nearly 2.5Gbps

In a PPPoE fiber connection?

Not sure on that but I can run a test as I am getting one delivered this week.

Great. Will wait on your feedback.

Ran a test over the weekend on the Topton N5105 model and got 940Mbps down on PPPoE couldn't really test up as my upload is only 110Mbps.
I ran a test on Static IP to a local Speed Test server and got 940 up and down as the server only has a 1Gig Nic.

In a general sense, I imagine it can handle both download and upload speeds simultaneously, right?

I believe so
